The first and second stages are near the sites of a recent Boy Scout Eagle project that was organized and completed in 2009 by Jesse from Troop 72. His project included building and placing two benches along this stretch of Homestead Trail. Numerous service hours were logged by members of Troop 72 and others to complete this project. You will visit both benches, so put on your walking shoes, take a bike, or make sure you have enough gas!
Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America requires years of dedication and hard work. In addition to 21 required merit badges, each Scout must complete a project that — on average — requires 167 service hours. In 2008 alone, that translated to $16 million in service (based on the national volunteer hour value of $19.51). This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called “Cache to Eagle” that showcases these special contributions. Over its first 100 years, Scouting has provided millions of hours of service to communities across America. For scoutings 100th Anniversary, we’re celebrating that legacy with special service opportunities through “A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference.” You can join us, and even earn a commemorative patch! Visit Scouting.org/100years to learn more. We’ve hidden twelve caches to showcase Eagle Scout projects in the three districts in the Cornhusker Council. Three are in the Prairie Winds District, three are in the Seven Feathers District, and six are in the Salt Valley District (this is one of them). Find all 12! Search for “Cornhusker Council, Cache to Eagle”. Collect the keywords in all 12 caches in order to find the final cache containing Cache to Eagle patchs from the Boy Scouts of America (while supplies last!).
